Vacasa home in
Galveston, TX
Introduction
The red-hot real estate market of the past year may be
starting to cool ever so slightly, but consumer demand for
vacation rental real estate is still burning bright. If you’re
in the market for a vacation rental property or second
home, read on as we outline the Top 25 Best Places to
Buy a Vacation Home. From coast to coast, we rank our
top 25 markets based on cap rate, or rate of return on
your investment, and provide helpful data points including
median home sale price and annual gross rental revenue.

Today’s vacation rental
real estate market
Overall buyer demand is decreasing, creating more opportunity
According to a June 2021 report, second home buyer demand is starting
to taper off a bit from its earlier peak, which will open up more affordable
inventory for those still in the market. This slight dip in demand is due to many
buyers having already purchased a second home over the past 18 months,
and uncertainty about the need to return to offices and schools.
Guest demand is high
Guest demand for vacation rentals remains incredibly high across the country,
driving up year-over-year occupancy and rates. It’s a great time to get into the
vacation home market and capitalize on the opportunity, if you intend to rent
your home.
More vacation rentals and investment properties
As a result of this demand, we’re seeing more first-time real estate investors
and second home owners renting out their properties for the first time. But
don’t worry, there’s a critical need for supply in many areas throughout
the country.
Buyers want to spend under $399,999
Vacasa’s 2021 Vacation Rental Buyer Report revealed that most buyers
(36.4%) currently in the market are looking to spend under $399,999,
which aligns nicely with median home sale prices in many of our 25 best
places to buy.
Buyers want immediate rental income from their investments
In the same report, 46% of buyers said they’re looking to start
generating income today, which is exactly where Vacasa can help—
offering full-service vacation rental management.

1. Gatlinburg, Tennessee
Our number four market in 2020 has climbed the ranks, claiming the top spot
on this year’s Top 25 Best Places to Buy a Vacation Home report. And with a
median sale price around $320,000 and a cap rate of 8.6%, it’s easy to see why.
Gatlinburg has plenty to offer guests, including the world famous Skylift Park,
where visitors can walk North America’s longest pedestrian suspension bridge.
At the bridge’s center, more than 30 feet of glass panels serve as the floor,
giving guests a thrilling view of the nature below. But don’t fret if you aren’t one
for heights. Those who opt not to cross can take in views from the safety of the
SkyDeck. Another big draw for tourists? The Anakeesta adventure park features
everything from cozy fire pits to dueling zip lines.

2. St. Augustine, Florida
Many destinations in Florida have made our Best Places to Buy reports over
the years, but St. Augustine makes its debut appearance in 2021 (coming
in at number two, no less). While plenty of guests flock to St. Augustine for
its pristine beaches, others come for the history and European flavor this
destination has to offer. Stroll downtown’s historic district or take in a bigger
piece of history with a visit to Castillo de San Marcos, the oldest masonry fort
in the continental United States and a major draw for guests. Of course, St.
Augustine is also a premier destination for optimal relaxation. Catch a sunset
cruise or visit the St. Augustine Distillery, which boasts the #1 whiskey tour in
North America.

3. Gulf Shores, Alabama
While Gulf Shores is known for just about every water sport imaginable, it’s
also home to a few famous bars and restaurants, perfect for snapping a selfie
just to prove you were there. Hit up The Hangout Restaurant—inspiration for
The Hangout Festival, which brings hordes of travelers (and famous musicians)
each spring. Then pop over to Lulu’s, owned and operated by none other than
Jimmy Buffett’s sister, Lucy. A sprawling sandy obstacle course will keep the
children entertained, while adults enjoy live music, which is a staple around
Gulf Shores. If you’re in the market to purchase a vacation home in Gulf Shores,
we expect it’ll set you back just over $400,000—but with a 7.1% cap rate, you
can easily offset costs.

4. Dauphin Island, Alabama
According to visitors, Dauphin Island is one of those rare places where you
feel relaxed immediately upon arrival. It’s also known as one of the most
family-friendly destinations in the southeast, so kids will have plenty of
activities to keep them entertained—including day trips to the Estuarium at
the Dauphin Island Sea Lab and the Audubon Bird Sanctuary. After some
educational fun, let them blow off steam on the white sandy stretches that
flank the island and dip into the crystal-clear waters. Dauphin Island’s beaches
are quiet and uncrowded, which makes it an ideal destination for good old-
fashioned sand castle building or catching up on a good read. This island
oasis earns the number four spot with a 6.8% cap rate.

Norris Lake came in at number two on our 2021 Best Places to Buy a Lake
House report—and now, in its first appearance in our Top 25 report, it rounds
out top five with a 6.2% cap rate. Guests come to Norris Lake for the main
attraction: 52 square miles of freshwater, perfect for activities like stand-up
paddleboarding, kayaking, and wakeboarding. Drop a line in at Gibbs Ferry
or Cove Lake State Park, or just sit back and enjoy the stunning views with
a picnic basket in tow. Guests who feel like kicking up their heels can do so
in nearby Knoxville, a short drive from Norris Lake. There, Market Square
is lined with shops and restaurants, as well as entertainment options both
indoor and out.

6. Blue Ridge, Georgia
Any destination where you can stand in two states at once is always a draw,
right? Guests in Blue Ridge can do just that, with one foot in Georgia and the
other just north in Tennessee. But after that photo op is complete, guests can
dive into the lush nature and all the activities Blue Ridge has to offer. There are
so many memorable experiences to have in the Peach State—like chasing one
of the 16 waterfalls found along popular hiking trails, horseback riding among
the rolling hills, and catching some fresh trout to throw on the grill of your
vacation home. In the Peach State, oddly enough, it’s apples that draw visitors
in the fall, with a plethora of orchard festivals. Owning a vacation home in
Blue Ridge will run you just under $300,000—how do you like them apples?

107. Palm Springs, California
There’s really no place like Palm Springs, which is why it’s one of the most
popular vacation destinations on the West Coast. Maybe it’s the mid-century
modern architecture of many vacation homes that draws people in and takes
them back in time. Or maybe it’s the hikes through the desert, where you
can catch a glimpse of a bighorn sheep hiding from the heat in the rocky
formations. Then again, it could be the smiling faces at the outdoor restaurants
and bars that line downtown, ready to serve patrons a cold drink and a snack.
Whatever it is, Palm Springs proper lands at number seven on our list, with a
median home price of approximately $539,000 and a cap rate of 5.9%.

8. Deep Creek Lake, Maryland
While most vacation destinations have worthwhile activities and attractions
year-round, Deep Creek Lake is one of those places that truly offers four-
season fun. In the summer months, guests can take to the state’s largest
inland lake for boating, tubing, and waterskiing. In the winter months,
skiers and snowboarders escape to Wisp Resort in the Western Maryland
mountains, where they can glide down 33 slopes totaling 11 miles of terrain.
For those who opt out of hitting the slopes, there are plenty of other winter
activities—including hiking to the waterfalls at Swallow Falls State Park,
partaking in a guided snowshoe tour, and even slushing through the snow
on a festive sleigh ride.

9. Seaside, Oregon
In this small coastal Oregon town, storm watching may be more common than
sunbathing, but there are still plenty of reasons to visit Seaside. For guests needing
to stretch their legs, the entire town is walkable or bikeable, and there’s plenty to
explore without leaving the area (though side trips to other coastal communities
are also a great way to spend the day). A must-do is to simply stroll Seaside’s
100-year-old promenade, taking in views of oceanfront homes—many of them
investment properties—and local landmarks. Stop by the Seaside Aquarium to feed
the seals, who each have their own unique ways to get your attention. Those who
want to spend time in the water will find waves ripe for surfing and a bay ideal for
kayaking. With a 5.2% cap rate, homeowners in Seaside can enjoy approximately
$45,000 annual gross rental revenue.

Frequently included in our Best Places to Buy a Winter Vacation Home report,
Ludlow draws guests in search of the great outdoors—and boy, do they get a
healthy dose. The Okemo Mountain Resort is a true winter wonderland, with
world-class amenities and different terrain for all levels of skiers and
snowboarders. Another spot that attracts guests year-round is Buttermilk
Falls, a series of three waterfalls and various swimming holes where summer
revelers can take a dip. But if you really want to absorb the local culture
in Ludlow, look no further than the Green Mountain Sugar House. Each
weekend, the sugar house offers visitors complimentary sugar on the snow,
maple cream donuts, maple coffee, and even maple milk. This sweet vacation
rental market boasts a cap rate of 5.2%.

1411. Big Bear, California
Southern Californians have been flocking to Big Bear for years, with its vast
range of activities that suit almost any type of traveler. For the leaf peepers,
Big Bear offers stunning fall foliage and breathtaking views, while skiers can
take to the mountain to enjoy the slopes, and swimmers can take advantage
of the crisp lake waters. For more curated experiences, check out the Big Bear
Jeep Experience. Guests can drive their own Jeep through off-road terrain
with the aid of an experienced guide (and more timid participants can simply
sightsee). Mountain biking trails line the area for the two-wheelers, and even
kids can test out their speed with the Big Bear Speedway Go Karts. Owning a
piece of the year-round family fun in Big Bear will cost around $372,000, but
it could bring in nearly $40,000 of annual gross rental revenue.

12. Rockaway Beach, Oregon
One of the most common things Rockaway Beach guests rave about is
simply the access to its sandy shores. There are 31 entry points to Rockaway
Beach, and most vacation rentals are within one mile of them. If you’ve never
experienced crabbing on the Oregon Coast, look no further than Kelly’s
Brighton Marina, where the local team goes above and beyond to share the
joy of the crabbing experience. Prefer to drop a line and kick back? Kelly’s
offers fishing experiences as well. Beach-themed restaurants and shops
welcome visitors, and no trip to Rockaway Beach would be complete without
a stop at Flamingo Jim’s. On average, Rockaway Beach vacation homes are
slightly less expensive than those in Seaside, with a median home sale price
of about $330,000.

Cle Elum is one of the more up-and-coming towns on our Top 25 Best Places

town’s website, the locals like it that way—and stay true to Cle Elum’s humble
beginnings as a logging and mining town. Fast forward to today, and you’ll
find a place that welcomes its guests to connect with each other and with the
area’s surrounding nature. Visitors can swing into family-owned businesses
like the Cle Elum Bakery and Owens Meats to snag essentials for home-cooked
meals they’ll prepare in their vacation home. Days at Cle Elum Lake are well
spent boating and taking advantage of Pacific Northwest fishing. This not-so-
hidden gem won’t stay a secret for long, with an opportunity for $53,000+ in

Big Sky, which ranked number one in our 2020 Top 25 Best Places to Buy a

part due to higher median home prices for investment properties. Nonetheless,
it’s a highly sought-after market, offering an outdoor playground for adults and
kids alike. Snowbound travelers can enjoy powder-filled days at Big Sky Resort,
with more than 5,800 skiable acres and 38 ski lifts. The Lone Peak Expedition
is a memorable experience for travelers of all ages and fitness levels. This half-
day adventure will take you to Montana’s highest scenic overlook at 11,166
feet, where you can see three states, two National Parks, and several mountain
ranges. Vacation homes in Big Sky have soared to a median home price of
$850,000, but they come with the opportunity to bring in $60,000 per year in
annual gross rental revenue.

15. Twentynine Palms, California
Located at the north entrance to Joshua Tree National Park and in the heart of
the Mojave Desert, Twentynine Palms is a unique—and dare we say downright
magical—place to visit. Spend a day in Joshua Tree hiking or rock climbing,
taking breaks to snap photos of the monolithic rock formations and sporadic
wildflowers. You won’t want to miss the sunset each night, but be warned that
once the sun is down and the stars are out, you just might get caught up in
stargazing and not want to move a muscle. Once you’re back on your feet, take
a drive through the Love Signs—a series of handpainted roadside signs that
simply say “love” in different languages, including Spanish, Farsi, and Kannada.
Love the idea of a vacation home in Twentynine Palms? You’re in luck, since the
average median home sale price is approximately $263,000.

sports and activities, it also comes alive in the summer months and is home
to two PGA golf courses, a bike park (in addition to many hiking and biking
trails), and spots to take a dip in the area’s rivers. For guests looking for

that earned it the title “The Caribbean of the Rockies.” According to the
Bear Lake website, the calcium carbonate suspended in the water keeps the
lake a sparkling blue-green hue, making it one of Utah’s (and Idaho’s) major
attractions. The marina is open year-round for guests to take to the water
for boating, sailing, and fishing. And of course, don’t miss the area’s famous
raspberry shakes—enjoy one on the various sandy beaches that surround the
lake, and take in the spectacular views. A home in Bear Lake offers a 4.6% cap

less populated than others nearby, guests can truly take in the natural beauty
of the area as they walk or run along the shoreline. Bikers can enjoy the 26-
mile, all-paved Waccamaw Neck Bikeway that puts you near Huntington Beach
State Park. Litchfield Beach is new to our Top 25 Best Places to Buy a Vacation

while those seeking a quieter stroll or hike will find their spot at Williams
Creek Reservoir. However, this is Colorado, which means that essentially any
outdoor activity is available—from horseback riding to fat biking to disc golf
to whitewater rafting. A vacation home in Pagosa Springs will set buyers back
approximately $361,000, but with the year-round activity available for guests,
you can expect to reel in bookings throughout all four seasons.

St. George Island can easily be described as 28 miles of pure, undisturbed

maintain a harmonious balance in the city, but still allow plenty of visitors to
stay in vacation homes. St. George is a consistent presence on “best beaches”
lists for its white sand beaches and warm Gulf of Mexico waters to splash, play,
paddle, and wade in. Another big draw for guests with furry friends is
St. George Island State Park, which welcomes dogs and their owners to enjoy
the nature trails and some specific beaches outside the park’s borders. Don’t
forget to follow the park’s rules—keeping Fido on a leash and away from other

Ellijay, located in the North Georgia mountains, is best known as the state’s

a weekend. However, visitors to the area can do a lot more than ride around
on two wheels. This small town has southern charm in spades and features
two of the most wholesome events of the year: the Georgia Apple Festival and
the Georgia Apple Blossom Festival (on pause until 2022). If baking pies isn’t
exactly your cup of tea, there’s plenty to do in Ellijay—just head to the area’s

Nestled along the Outer Banks of North Carolina, Corolla has grown in

experiences. Visitors can find vacation homes of all kinds in Corolla, from
the cozy and quaint to the downright luxurious—with some vacation rentals
featuring private pools, theater rooms, indoor hot tubs, and direct beach access.
One of the most popular attractions in Corolla is its wild horses, a herd of
Colonial Spanish mustangs that roam the area’s beaches freely. Fun fact: it’s
believed that the horses are descendants of shipwrecked horses from hundreds
of years ago, so visitors come in droves to catch a glimpse. Snag your spot on

dolphins) that might make an appearance. At the same time, you can find visitors
sprawled on the sand, kicking back with their favorite beach read or snoozing in
the sand. Be sure to make a stop at Ferry Landing Park, a waterfront throwback

29Our methodology
To determine its ranking of top vacation rental markets, Vacasa analyzed home
sales and vacation rental performance data from the last twelve months for
vacation destinations throughout the country where Vacasa and its licensed
subsidiaries manage vacation rentals. *To determine average gross rental income
(homeowner revenue made from bookings, excluding any fees) for a market, we
used actual performance data for the market as a whole, where available, except
that Vacasa-only data was used for markets where Vacasa manages more than
50 units and actual Vacasa rental performance beats the market average by
at least 25%. To calculate average cap rate, we considered the averages of the
following in each market: property taxes, utilities, HOA fees, insurance, and
property management fees.

nature and has not taken into account your personal financial position or objectives. You should consult a licensed financial advisor or other professional to discuss your specific situation. Estimated
rental income figures and home sale prices are based on averages for a given market for the prior 12 months ; for any specific property, the actual revenue, purchase price, and cap rate may differ
materially from estimated amounts and depend on a wide range of factors outside Vacasa’s knowledge or control, such as the property’s condition, layout, and furnishings; expenses associated
with the acquisition and ownership of the property (such as property taxes, utility fees, HOA fees, insurance fees, and mortgage-related expenses); rental calendar availability; existing and future
regulations; current and future economic, social, and political trends and conditions; and weather and environmental factors. These estimates do not take into account the potential impact of state
income taxes. Many locations restrict or impose conditions on the use of properties as vacation rentals, or restrict vacation rentals to certain defined areas. Before purchasing a particular property
as a potential vacation rental a buyer should confirm that the property can legally be used for this purpose. Vacasa makes no representations or warranties, express or implied, about the accuracy of
